I was standing waiting for an elevator that would be going up-- there were 6 elevators in that area. A woman walked up and pushed the button for DOWN. An elevator going up came and I got on -- turned to notice her getting on. I put my hand out and said "sorry --- the elevators are being repaired and are only going up today". She got off and walked to the stairs ---- I almost fell on the floor laughing!

Was talking to a woman who told me this story. She was waiting in an administrator's office for a meeting. The Admin. was out - but his secretary was there. The phone rang, the secretary answered it. While talking on the phone, another phone rang. She put #1 caller on hold, took 2nd call. While talking on #2 call, a third call came in. She said "just a minute", put the phone down and ran into the Admin's office to take the call. Finally - when all calls were done, friend asked why she didn't just put all the calls on hold with her phone. Secretary said "duh, there's only one HOLD button on my phone"!!!!!!!!! For those young ones here who don't understand ---- that hold button would have worked for all 6 phone lines!!!!!!

Have you heard the one about the substitute school secretary that needed "white-out" while she was typing a report for the principal...this is a true story...I was the one to loan the "white-out" to her...but thank goodness, before she could put it on the computer screen, I showed her the "backspace" key...Naomi

True story that happened to me. An manager had several pages that he wanted to fax. Just as he got started, the secretary ran up to him, and told him to wait a minute, while she checked to see if there was enough paper in the fax machine to handle all the pages he wanted to fax OUT. He just looked at her strangely, and let her add more paper. I had this visual in my head of pages of paper floating thru the air to their destination.

Another story comes to mind. Phone call came in for associate who was not at her desk, so the call rolled to the secretary. The secretary tracked the associate to the restroom. The secretary came back to the person on the phone, and told him/her that the associate was in the restroom AND WOULD BE AWHILE.
